Quests & Challenges

With Night of the Nocturne coming up, I decided to take up the Long Drop Challenge, figuring I would at the very least get chests - and at best something even better :)

I'm doing a slightly simplified variation: instead of collecting 99 of the first item drop, I stop at 99 of any drop, in each venue. This permits me to finish a little faster, compatibly with the life I lead and the time I spend on this site (working full time and needing to actually make dragon money outside of long drop).

I'll be jumping from venue to venue since I want to take care of the higher-levelled ones first (I'm training a Golem Workshop duo), so don't be surprised if things like the Training Fields go last.

Especially that Arcane egg. :)

Ah well, on to the next venue!

NOT worth it. I hated every minute I spent in the Kelp Beds; training was slow (I had a mage to be levelled) and the event encounters wouldn't die to anything but Rally + Scratch + Eliminate. So glad I can move on to greener pastures.

@SilverQuark egg envy 2k17

@ArgenteaMoon Sure, now watch me never get another egg drop ever :'D [center][b]Scorched Forest[/b][/center] [quote=Stack][item=Emerald Shiners] x99[/quote] [quote=Familiars][item=Moss-Covered Golem] [item=Augite Protector] x2 [item=Wintermane Bowman] [item=Extinguished Jackalope][/quote] [quote=Battle Stones][item=Hydro Bolt] [item=Regeneration] x2 [item=Earthen Might Fragment] [item=Earthen Acuity Fragment] [item=Dark Acuity Fragment] [item=Shroud] [item=Acuity Fragment][/quote] [quote=Valuables][item=Broken Flower Pot] [item=Strange Chest] x29[/quote] Not a lot of familiars this time, but HOLY HECK THOSE CHESTS. I knew from my friends that the Scorched Forest was good for grinding them, but I didn't expect it to be [i]this[/i] good!

[center][b]Sandswept Delta[/b][/center] [quote=Stack][item=Barbed Tail] x99[/quote] [quote=Apparel][item=Tropical Birdskull Legband][/quote] [quote=Familiars][item=Greatshell] x3 [item=Scaleback] x2 [item=Storm Seeker] [item=Carmine Serthis] [item=Serthis Potionmaster][/quote] [quote=Battle Stones][item=Mana Bolt] [item=Dark Bolt] x5 [item=Leaf Bolt] [item=Mist Slash] [item=Fossilize] x2 [item=Congeal][item=Bolster] [item=Scholar] [item=Concentration] [item=Regeneration] [item=Scratch] [item=Shred] [item=Zephyr Might Fragment] [item=Dark Might Fragment] x3 [item=Shining Might Fragment] [item=Fiery Might Fragment] [item=Natural Might Fragment] [item=Earthen Might Fragment] [item=Fiery Acuity Fragment] [item=Earthen Acuity Fragment] [item=Natural Acuity Fragment] [item=Shale Hybrid Fragment][/quote] [quote=Valuables][item=Fishscale Basket] x4 [item=Strange Chest] x31 [item=Iridescent Scaleback Crate][/quote] Yo, I heard the Sandswept Delta was good for festival grinding, but I didn't expect to drop even more chests than in the Scorched Forest! Then again, I spent several hours in here. And the majority of chests were obtained towards the end, curiously. Also, all the battle stones and none of them was an Eliminate. BOO.

Dang! Nice NotN hauls!

@TheGodOfStories Thanks :) It was my first NotN and it took forever to hoard those chests, but the event was very fun. I hope to put up another venue in the next days, though I'm pretty busy, so i don't know when I'll get it done.

Hi this is totally not dead I swear!

It's also possible some Ghostlight Ruins battle stones went in here. XD Well, at least it's done, right?
